The Crucial Need for Pentesting small businesses

 In an interconnected digital landscape, no business is too small to escape the reach of cyber threats. Small businesses, just like their larger counterparts, face a myriad of cybersecurity challenges that can compromise sensitive data, financial stability, and overall operations. This is where CyberOps 24/7 steps in, providing specialized pentesting services tailored for small and local businesses.

Why Small Businesses Need Pentesting:

1. Vulnerabilities Exist at Every Scale: Contrary to popular belief, cyber-criminals do not discriminate based on the size of a business. Small enterprises are often perceived as easier targets due to potentially less robust cybersecurity measures, making them attractive to malicious actors.
2. Data is Valuable, Regardless of Size: Even a small business holds valuable data, whether it's customer information, financial records, or proprietary data. Any compromise can lead to reputational damage, legal consequences, and financial loss.
3. Network Perimeters are Expanding: With the increasing adoption of remote work and cloud-based services, the traditional network perimeter has become more porous. Small businesses need to secure their digital assets beyond the confines of a physical office.

Statistics on Small Business Cyber Threats:

1. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses.
2. The National Cyber Security Alliance found that 60% of small companies go out of business within six months of a cyberattack.
3. Symantec reports that 36% of spear-phishing attacks are directed at businesses with fewer than 250 employees.
